The german gothic metal band has six members, which have been active since 1992. They are special for their deep sound and complex
lyrics.
Since 1992, DARKSEED have constantly been part of the German Gothic Metal Scene which they have decisively formed by releasing two
innovative demos (Sharing the Grave 1992, Darksome Thoughts 1993) and their first real outputs (“Romantic Tales” Mini-CD 1994, “Midnight

The german gothic metal band has six members, which have been active since 1992. They are special for their deep sound and complex
lyrics.
Since 1992, DARKSEED have constantly been part of the German Gothic Metal Scene which they have decisively formed by releasing two
innovative demos (Sharing the Grave 1992, Darksome Thoughts 1993) and their first real outputs (“Romantic Tales” Mini-CD 1994, “Midnight
Solemnly Dance” CD 1996).
From the early beginnings the band tried and kept evolving, so it wasn’t surprising that the album “Spellcraft“ (1997, Nuclear Blast) -
featuring sheer power and gloomy melodies - was well received, even internationally. Born in 1999 after extensive touring across Europe, the
album “Give Me Light” (Nuclear Blast) prepared the way for further development, elaborated by the following releases: a catchy mixture
between atmospheric electronics and attractive melodies. “Diving Into Darkness” (2000, Nuclear Blast) and “Astral Adventures” (2003,
Massacre Records) as logical consequences attracted the interest of a broadly based worldwide audience.
After more than 10 dark years, some side-projects and therefore a remarkable number of releases, Stefan Hertrich, singer and founder of
DARKSEED, indulged in a yearlong creative time-out - just to return in 2004, packed with a bundle of new songs and bursting of energy. The
result: 13 songs, as usual produced by the band in guitarist Thomas Herrmann´s Helion Studios and self-confidently entitled “Ultimate
Darkness”. « hide |
